no, the mandarin baddy club is an independent badminton club backed by the mandarin golf club....
it IS open today... i should know, since i was there from 10:30-6....
and honestly, i can quite frankly say these are some of the finest (if not THE finest) courts i have every played on....
-the ceiling is FREAKING high... if you hit the ceiling, you are hitting it too high....
-the ground is TOP-NOTCH... if you liked lees, you'll love mandarin
-there are NO obstructions near or on court... no poles or anything nearby
-there is plenty of space for people to walk by
-the walls are very badminton friendly, you have to be blind to not see the bird
perhaps my only complaint is that on one side of a specific court, the lights can blind you slightly....
other than that... a SUPER atmosphere to play badminton...
oh yeah, there's also a lounge, which is pretty nice... lots of seating, lots of space and 2 TVs...
as for the work out area, kinda small, but they haven't gotten all their equipment yet i believe....
pro shop - not bad... average selection of rackets, nice selection of birds... an on site stringer (duh), food, snacks, drinks
all in all a first rate club.. if you can get there, i TOTALLY recommend it....
if you got any questions, feel free to ask me...
the only other downside is the lounge doesn't have A/C hooked up yet... =(
